WorldQuant University is an accredited not-for-profit dedicated to advancing global education, we know that talent is equally distributed globally, but opportunity is not. We believe all capable and committed students deserve the opportunity to change their lives and to impact their communities. As part of our mission to make advanced, quality education accessible to capable students everywhere, our programs are entirely free of cost. There are no fees for learning materials, exams, etc.

While WQU does not charge any fees, there some costs that applicants/students are expected to cover:

Applicants for the MSc in Financial Engineering (MScFE) program who are required to submit English proficiency test scores are responsible to cover the fees associated with these tests. WQU accepts the Duolingo English Test, TOEFL, IELTS, and PTE. The English proficiency requirement does NOT apply to applicants who have graduated from a college or university where English is the language of instruction.

Upon acceptance into the MScFE program, all students are required to submit official transcripts for their highest previously earned college or university degree. The potential cost of obtaining official transcripts is the only other fee students are expected to cover, though many universities offer this service for free.
